49,000 students from state apply for JEE Main in Orissa

BHUBANESWAR: Contrary to speculation of poor response in the initial days, over
49,000 students from the state have applied for JEE Main 2014, the national level entrance
for undergraduate engineering admission.

"The number of engineering
aspirants from the state this year is comparable to the numbers last year when
the mode of selection was Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE).
Around the same number of students from Odisha had applied for engineering
through OJEE in 2013," said Priyabrata Sahoo, secretary, OJEE.

OJEE
authorities will conduct counseling for engineering and architecture admission
in the state from the state-level merit list generated on the basis of JEE
Main.

Around two weeks after the application process for JEE Main started
on November 15, only around 22,000 students had applied by the first week of
December. Worried about the small number, private engineering colleges had
apprehended unprecedented number of unoccupied undergraduate engineering seats
in the coming academic year and had asked the state government to plan a special
state-level joint entrance to fill up the vacancies after JEE Main.

Apart from students from
Odisha, another 7,000 to 8,000 students from outside the state will take
admission in Odisha colleges as the government allows private colleges to fill
up 15 per cent seats with outsiders.

In 2013, 68,000 students had applied
for engineering admission through OJEE, including around 19,000 students from
outside the state. Of them, 62,000 had qualified for admission. However, over
24,000 of the total 42,000 engineering seats remained vacant in
2013-14.

"We hope for a better admission position in 2014-15 since
admission in the state will be held around the same time as other states because
of a common entrance. Previous years, since OJEE was delayed, many students
joined elsewhere," Dash said.

The offline mode of JEE Main is scheduled
on April 6 while the online test will be held between April 9 and April 19.There
are 88 private and eight government-run engineering colleges in state, besides
two deemed universities.
